people ten thirty top twenty
I have twenty personalities on top of the ten I already have. So now I have thirty people in my head!
came happens high lives lost people stand telling totally wrong
After Stand By Me came out people were telling me, 'You're so good,' 'You're going to be a star,' and things like that. You can't think about it. If you take it the wrong way, you can really get high on yourself. People get so lost when that happens to them. They may think they have everything under control, but everything is really out of control. Their lives are totally in pieces.
memories people mind
I feel that there are great minds up there who would like to see what I can do with an Oscar nomination. I guess many people would change after a nomination in the way they see things. In my case it's really irrelevant in terms of what I do. Still, it was an incredible experience which I will put in my memories, like everything else.
thinking play people
I've been around the movie business, so I can play it cool and all that, but when people are different they have that off thing about them. Their whole presence is just a little innocent, I think.
one-direction phoenix people
People wonder if I'll always be a part of this family and the answer is yes. My family has a lot of good energy going in one direction and because of it, we get a lot of things done. That's why I'll always spend a lot of time at Camp Phoenix.
people ironic moments
Everything is ironic to me. There are moments I find hysterical, but I'm probably the only one who would find that, except for a few people.
stars thinking people
After Stand By Me came out, people were telling me, 'You're so good,' 'You're going to be a star,' and things like that. You can't think about it. If you take it the wrong way, you can really get high on yourself. People get so lost when that happens to them. They may think they have everything under control, but everything is really out of control. Their lives are totally in pieces.
addiction people disease
Addiction is not just for bad people or scumbags -- it's a universal disease.
thinking phoenix people
It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.
winning ideas people
People are constantly trying to make an image for you. They`ll dress you up and tell you to pose a certain way and take all these pictures... they want a certain image, so they create that. And unless you`re spending a lot of time to create another image to counteract that image, theirs will win. So right now, I`m kind of dealing with a lot of false ideas of what I`m about.
biggest problem smile smiles terrible
Biggest problem was I was terrible for commercials - I couldn't smile on cue.
believe phony product selling
Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling a product I didn't believe in.
I wouldn't eat a hamburger for 40,000 dollars.
badly buy couple girls good honest love might photo pictures print shoot sound tired weeks
I told them I was tired of being in the magazines, and how they made it sound like I love them and want girls so badly to buy them. I'm also doing a photo shoot in a couple of weeks - good honest pictures. They're going to print these pictures anyway, so they might as well be pictures of what I'm really like.
